No charges have been filed against Neil Tiffany, 27, of Readington Township, who was driving the car that struck Hardenburg, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony Kearns III said. The decision to press charges hinges on the results of toxicology reports, he said. The prosecutor's office and Raritan Township police are working to determine what motor vehicle summonses Tiffany might be issued, he said. Kearns would not say if Tiffany was speeding at the time.

Hardenburg was clearing damage from Superstorm Sandy in front of a home on Route 617 when he was hit. He wasn't working in an official capacity at the time, but as a part-time truck driver. Equipment was being unloaded in front of the home when Hardenburg was hit just before 9 a.m. Attempts to reach Tiffany were unsuccessful.
